There have been various DOS networking commands ported over the years.
Search for an existing version (e.g. Watt-32 or mTCP) before giving
up. Perhaps someone else has already tried.

DR-DOS 7.03 is still commercially sold ($35). That may not be the best
answer, but it's what comes to mind. (There are other commercial DOS
variants, of course, even Win9x may work, who knows. I don't claim to
have tested them all.)
Just saying, keep an eye out, do some searching, think about what
exactly you want to do, what your target requirements are, licensing,
what's easiest, what's best, cost, etc.
Keep us posted!! ;-)
